opinions about the results. Some researchers find that there is positive impact of
capital structure on bank performance. Different tools used to determinates of
capital structure of bank in financial and non-financial as the study of Jensen and
Meekling (1976). They found different problems to measure the capital structure.
Harris and Raviv (1991) Mayers 2001 have conducted different theories to
measure the capital structure. There is a positive relationship between capital asset
ratio and earnings of the bank by study berger (1995). Different banks have high
loan problems and bad quality loans. The banks are highly levered to comparing
the non-financial firms. Basically this research is related to the literature on 1)

measuring the risk. Due to performing of these practices, banks have positive
impression all the parties not only interested parties. A positive image created in
the mind about bank if low risk involve. The result of these consequences to
improving the financial performance and good relationship between bank capital
and bank performance. In spite of different researchers Deesomak (2007) found

researcher as Modigliani and miller (1958) debate in corporate finance theory.

theory when minimized the weighted average cost of capital and maximize the
market value. In trade-off-theory includes taxes and agency cost. They focus only
on positive relationship between capital structure and bank performance. They use
both internal and external sources to measuring the performance of banks. There
are many sources about debt and equity. In which include long term debt and short
term debt on corporate debt and also include long term debt and short term debt on
government debt. Different variable used in this topic: such as independent
.variables and dependent variables
